All knitting is amazing, but certain techniques, so easy with such exciting results, really do feel like magic! If you haven’t tried double knitting yet, cast on our Double Knit Blanket and begin your new life as a double knitter...
- Double knitting lets you work two layers of fabric at the same time, all by just alternating knit stitches and slip stitches.
- Having two layers creates the chance to bring together very different yarns to make one gorgeous whole. Good Wool and Season Alpaca each bring their own very special touch to this blanket. One hundred percent Andean highland wool, Good Wool is airy-light and bouncy, with a hearty feel and heathered beauty.
- Made with the most special grade of Peruvian alpaca available (100% super baby alpaca!), Season Alpaca is amazingly soft and subtly shiny, flowing over your needles to create a velvety puddle of fabric. Earthy Good Wool and smooth-as-honey Season Alpaca, you’ll love the satisfying feel of these yarns together!
Pick your size and palette and enjoy the two-sided wonder that is double knitting!
Please Note: The Guava Earth + Dove Gray bundle comes with a Shout Color Catcher. When you're blocking, just put the Catcher in your sink or basin with your finished blanket to prevent the Guava Earth from bleeding onto the Dove Gray. As an added precaution, when you lay your blanket flat to dry, make sure the Guava Earth side is facing up! We did the same thing... It works!
